Snowboarding Holidays

Our all-inclusive Club Med packages allow you to fully immerse yourself in the world of snowboarding. We offer classes, equipment hire and passes as well as all the extras you expect from a Club Med holiday. Choose the package that suits your level of expertise, what you want to do and whether you’re taking a holiday with friends, partners or an entire family.

Club Med offers group courses suitable for everyone with the cost included in the price of your stay. In Europe, lessons are delivered by instructors from the national ski schools (ESF, ESS and ESI). In addition, you take priority on the ski lifts when you're part of a group class. Kids can start snowboarding at Club Med from the age of 8 at Snowboard with introductory classes. Once they’re 12 or over they join the adults so everyone can slip, slide and spin together. Your level will be assessed so you go into the right class. Beginners go to Class 1. Those heading down the blue pistes and controlling their trajectory and speed are in Class 2. Red slope veterans make Class 3 whilst Class 4 is reserved for the experts. Please note beginner lessons strictly begin on Monday and the group lessons run for 5 days Monday to Fridays.

Snowboarding only has a short official history, although it’s likely to have been around for a lot longer than that. In 1965, an engineer called Sherman Poppen fastened two skis together to create a toy for his daughters. Since then the sport has taken off dramatically and millions now enjoy the fun of attaching a board to their feet and careering down a piste or doing daring jumps from a slope.
